    Hi,

    I’m reasonably new to wordpress, so apologies if this is a simple fix.

    I’m using the Shapely theme and when I create a sermons page, it puts the sidebar below the sermons, rather than to the side.

    Is there a way to move the sidebar back to the side, or even remove it? I can’t appear to find any obvious settings for it.

    Cheers!

  • If you want to display your sidebar to the right on your Sermon page, you’ll need to create a custom page(s). You’ll need to know a little HTML/CSS and create a Child Theme. If you don’t know how to do this, you’ll need to just remove (hide) it.

    In your Theme Options find ‘Additional CSS’. Add this and save it.

    .single-wpfc_sermon #secondary,
    .tax-wpfc_preacher #secondary,
    .tax-wpfc_service_type #secondary,
    .tax-wpfc_sermon_series #secondary,
    .post-type-archive-wpfc_sermon #secondary {display: none;}
    

    That should hide the sidebar on your Sermon pages.

    Forgot there is a setting on the SM Plugin: Sermon Manager Settings > Advanced. Click ‘Theme Compatibility’ on (Use alternative layout override). That should put your sidebar to the right. Just downloaded that your theme and it worked.

    Thanks for the help Mike.
    I had already attempted the ‘Theme Compatibility’ option, and while it does put the side bar in the right place, the rest of the page seems ‘jumbled’. (Take a look at the original link).

    Can you explain what a ‘custom’ page is, or do you have a ‘how to’ link perhaps? I don’t mind having to learn a few things.

    I will use the CSS to remove the sidebar if it comes to it.

    Many thanks!

    I see that now. I didn’t notice on my testing site, but I was just looking to see if the sidebar showed.

    Creating a custom page, or more like a ‘custom archive page’, ‘custom single page’, and ‘custom taxonomy’ is a bit more than a “how to”. Every theme does thing different. If you want to learn, Google ‘create custom archive page’ or something like that.

    I played around and if you add this to your theme’s “Additional CSS” section, this may work for you.

    /**
    * For Customized Sermon Manager Plugin
    ************************************************/
    .wpfc_sermon.col-md-6 {
      width: 100%;
    }
    
    .wpfc_sermon .entry-header a img {
      width: auto;
    }
    
    .wpfc_sermon.post-content {
      border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
      padding-bottom: 20px;
    }
    /************************************************/

    That will display a single sermon per line instead of a double sermon per line.

    You’re a genius mate, thanks!

    Although, after a bit of playing around, I actually have settled on the no-sidebar view. I may come back to this at some point as it’s obvious I have a bit of learning to do regarding customisation.

    Cheers!

    No genius, just enough HTML/CSS to be dangerous!
